[QUOTE="michaelnc4444, post: 2027007, member: 26525"] I think it is more than that. The anti-gun crowd views the purpose of guns to kill, therefore they believe "assault rifles" are super duper killing machines. The purpose of a gun is not to kill. Is that a consequence of using one? More often than not, yes... The purpose though is one of three things. 1) Hunting, not sport hunting, hunting to feed your family or yourself. 2) Sport, target shooting, clays, hunting for sport... 3) DEFENSE, defense against criminals, terrorists, and most importantly, tyrants. In addition to this, most of them truly fail to understand the 2nd Amendment. The media has them convinced that the 2nd is for hunting and defense against muggers... These things are afterthoughts, as I said above, defense against the tyrants was the first and foremost reason for this right. The first 10 Amendments were obviously the ones they felt were the most important. The 1st says you have the right to be free, the 2nd says you have the right to defend that freedom. How is this hard for them to understand? [/QUOTE]
